Forgive me for saying it......:omg:

But I did say that "nobody" will beat Chelsea at the Bridge...:D

It was a great game, and Drogba, quite rightly, made Benitez choke on his earlier nasty comments about him, with two superb goals....:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Three weeks from now is Moscow, and the grand final, Where the fat lady sings....:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Will Chelsea win....??? I dearly hope so...

You never know....:omg:

For the time being, I am happy with Chelsea going to Moscow, once there, in neutral ground, who knows...?

May the best team win, that is all I say.... CHELSEA....:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Amazing isn't Joe......the end of the season, and Chelsea start playing football in the last week :icon_lol: .....not my view....look at the crowd levels at Stamford all season :NoNo:

ManU to win now, Chelsea will still get shafted out of a major Cup by a North-West team for umpteen years in a row :D

Well done to RANGERS :)

[Eljohno]

There was a guy on the radio who was a Chelsea fan saying that Utd and Chelsea will dominate football at least for 10 years.. hmmm Chelsea fans getting a bit ahead of themselves i think as i still believe the best is yet to come with Liverpool but do not think it will be under their current manager.

Well done Rangers a great season for British clubs!!

[KeithD]

So the 'old' boys messed up in all the semi's then.......Viara last night missed a sitter by standing on the ball 1ft from the goal line, then took a shot and killed a pigeon on the roof, and missed a penalty costing them a place in the Final by doing a Beckham special......

......the old boys of Barcelona underperformed, they need to bring in some you kids now instead of recycling the olds......only heard Henry mentioned twice in the whole match...

.....and then Riise (way slow these days) scored for Chelse, and Hypia gave them another goal.....the guy scored two OG's at the start of the season......and Benitoss took off Torres.....some things never change.

...and talking of old boys, heard some ManU fans earlier in the week having a go at Giggs....:Erm:....shows you what they know about footy.

Hi, you're forgetting Arsenal, they're doing it the hard way, no billionaire to
buy the best players.

England as a National team, forget it, to many foreign players, should be restricted to only three foreign players per team , same as Italy. OH have
they won it more than England. wonder why:rolleyes:

[KeithD]

should be restricted to only three foreign players per team

If they do, it's illegal, and will be forced to stop at some point.

We've had Johnny Foreigner in County cricket, rugby, etc for years, the English teams can still do well, so it's not an excuse. Most English players are overpaid & overrated.

[jimeve]

What no Euro 08, I wonder why :rolleyes:

think it will be a :censored: summer. :bigcry:

[KeithD]

Because:
A. The ove-rpaid over-hyped players would rather be elsewhere
B. The manager.....nuff said :D (Playing reputation and sponsorship value rather than skill/form)

Sadly Italy are not restricted to three foreign players as its agaisnt eu rules. Some one from Italian football was lamenting it the other day on the TV (cant remeber who) even though they are world cup champions the future looks bleak due to the same problem of to many players from abroad.

Drogba has a face looks like struck by lightning and squeezed by hundred devils :omg::Cuckoo:

Okey i'v got a bit behind with that ruling, they used to, same as Germany,france.

So it all favers the big clubs, small clubs have to use talent/brains, big clubs
just get me that fat cheque book, lets buy joe blogs (no offense joe). :action-smiley-081:

[KeithD]

Aresnal has the best youth support in the World, and not only that, takes women's footy serious, which probably explains why they keeping winning at that level as well.

Today at football we were chatting about how international football just isn't that high a level now.

If you put the best countries in with the best club sides in a league or cup the countries would not fair as well.

Many people i know don't have any intrest in England games they are just a joke and if its club versus country for a player to decide due to injuries most would rather see the player turn out for the club it seemed.

[joebloggs]

dom. 4 -1 it could be all over tomoz for chelsea :xxgrinning--00xx3:

the pressure is on them now.. :D

[KeithD]

What about Fulham? :yikes: Doing a Pompey special!!
